And just to add a little more information..
It was, as Trommel said, originally a Vignale coupe-bodied car when first built in early 1953 and was acquired by a Jacques Herzet, who raced it in 9 events before having it rebodied by Oblin in 1954.  In that form he raced it in another 15 events up to 1957.

Today the car is owned by Boz Selz, who had it completely restored by Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas recently.
